Even with the Bugzilla tracker, this contributed to noise (as those participating in the issue would receive the notification mail twice, once from bugzilla, once from the ML) as well as confusion (as people would reply to these messages, forking the thread).

I don't have a strong opinion about this. The mirroring of GH conversations on the ML ensures that the W3C keeps a record of the discussion and makes it easier for people who are not on GH to find and follow issues. That said, if the duplication is a pain for most, I could live with an alternative where we'd keep everything in GH and archive/mirror things in w3.org space on a regular basis.

Other thoughts from the group?
